RIGGING AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY 

 

DANGER: 

The loudspeakers described in this manual are designed and intended to be mounted using a 

variety of rigging hardware, means and methods. Installation of loudspeakers should only be 
performed by trained and qualified personnel. It is strongly recommended that a licensed and certified 
professional structural engineer approve the mounting plan. Severe injury and/or loss of life may 
occur if these products are improperly installed!  

 

DANGER

: 

All rigging fittings must be fully tightened and secured. Any missing fasteners will 

compromise the structural integrity of the enclosure and constitute a safety hazard. Do not 
suspend this loudspeaker unless all fasteners are securely in place! 

 

IMPORTANT

: Refer to the sections on installation and connections later in this manual for additional 

information on rigging and electrical safety. 

 

DANGER

: It is possible to experience severe electrical shock from a power amplifier. Always make 

sure that all power amplifiers are in the “OFF” position and unplugged from an AC Mains supply 
before performing electrical work.
